Up Coming comedians...

I am helping to put together one of those 101 most... countdown shows for a cable network. Right now I am trying to come up with funny up and coming actors and comedians for those interview and commentary segments, I don't know why but I am drawing a blank about who to contact for this job, so I figured I'd ask the record nerd public:who are some of your favorite up and coming comedians/ stand up comics?

    Guzz,



    I put Dwayne Perkins WAY at the top of my list! He has a Comedy Central special that I've caught half-way over a few times that is hilarious, seriously-seriously funny shit. Anybody else catch it? He has a way with subtle delivery that kills. More information on his website here:

    I said this in the last thread. But my man Russell Peters







    is getting large...



    He's been around for a min on the stand up scene. But I think he's just starting to do movies. He's Canadian but does shows all over the world now. Huge in Britain...



    Great and funny guy. One of his best friends is DJ Mastermind (Canadian DJ) so he's into music as well.



    I think I got a link for one of his comedy specials if you wanna check it out.

    Its safe to say anyone with a funk collection probably isn't looking to cast Jeff Foxworthy's homeboys in a show he's making



    my votes:

    Dane Cook


    got 'em on the list

    OK sent you a link. Guzzo, let me know if you got it dl'ed alright.



    Here is for anyone else if they wanna watch.



    HERE



    You really have to watch the whole thing. A few people have a prob with his making fun of everyone. But I really think he does it to confront stereotypes.

    That reminded me of this thing I read the other day of McSweeney's:
    You can just skip to the last one once you get the point.

    You Might Be
    a Redneck If ...
    BY TREVOR SEIGLER
    - - - -

    If you go out in the sun without wearing sunscreen and you absorb a lot of solar radiation on the back of your neck, you might be a redneck ...

    - - - -

    If you get in a tanning bed and come out with sunburn on your body 'cause you didn't use enough sunblock, chances are you might be a redneck ...

    - - - -

    If you listen to country music and fly a rebel flag everywhere you go and your neck gets burnt from exposure to the sun when you're out partying with friends while Hank Junior blares in the background, you might be a redneck ...

    - - - -

    If you have to clean off the roof of your trailer on a hot summer day and you take off your shirt under the hot sun, you might be a redneck ...

    - - - -

    If you stay out in the sun so long that you contract skin cancer and die, you might be a redneck ...

    - - - -

    If you tell lame jokes about how "you might be a redneck" for well over a decade and no one wants to hear your newer material, you might be wondering where it all went wrong by now ...

    Aziz Ansari is a dude in NYC doing lots of stuff with the Upright Citizens Brigade and the Conan O Brien crew. Real funny. He also has been doing some short comedy films as "Shutterbugs" with Rob Huebel (aka "Inconsiderate Cell Phone Guy")

    I think he can pretty much nail everyone...

    He does a few in the link I posted...

    When he asks the guy for his real chinese name around 23 mins into it is pretty good.

    thanks everyone for the suggestions. I used quite a few of the names you guys dropped. the shows themselves won't air until October, and we are still in the process of finding talent...I'll keep y'all informed
